Writing Spiritual Books: a Bestselling Writer's Guide to Successful Publication Hal Zina Bennett

The burgeoning interest in writing and spiritual growth, spurred on by books such as Julia Cameron?s The Artist?s Way and Natalie Goldberg?s Writing Down the Bones has helped to establish writing books as a mainstay in the book business. At the same time, spiritual and personal growth books grace bestseller lists across the nation. Perhaps not so surprisingly, there is a cross-fertilization between people who are interested in personal and spiritual growth and those who are interested in writing.
